Lana Del Rey’s Born To Die is on the verge of becoming the first album this year to sell more than 100,000 copies in a week in the UK as Leonard Cohen heads towards his highest-charting release in more than four decades.
Del Rey’s Polydor-issued album had sold around 92,000 copies up until the end of business on Thursday, according to the Official Charts Company, putting it more than 60,000 sales ahead of the rest of the market.
With two more days of trading still to go, Born To Die’s figures for this week are already very impressive given in the first four weeks of 2012 sales of the number one album have ranged from 20,678 to 38,380 copies across an entire week.
Lana Del Rey fans + Stans - You can all welcome me in your fanbase.
I truly love this girl for her music and her beauty. I know her live performances are not great but I appreciate and respect the fact that she sings her songs live.
Anyway, practice makes perfect and I know her live performances will become perfect one day.
Love her a lot. She deserves all the success because this is what I call talent + good image.

Preach she just needs to get rid of those nerves, let go, and make use of her unique voice. She has a very sweet personality what isn't there to like
So proud of her 
She's doing amazing in the UK.
